Backup keeper Karl Darlow has played in all but one of the FA Cup games this campaign, conceding five goals and only keeping one clean sheet (Transfermarkt).

Third choice reserve Rob Elliott hasn’t even made a single appearance under Bruce all season (Transfermarkt).

The Chronicle reported Newcastle do not have the option to recall Freddie Woodman from a loan spell at Swansea City, despite the 23-year-old putting in a string of impressive performances. Woodman has kept 11 clean sheets in 37 appearances in the Championship for the Swans (Transfermarkt).

Clearly a final decision needs to be made as the club currently have a full quota of goalkeepers in their Premier League squad.

Given how important Dubravka has proven this season, it’s hard to see him being ousted from his position, so perhaps offering Woodman a role as cover and competition – potentially playing in cups – could be a good idea in an effort to stave off any interest in him, with a third option generally a cheaper option in the market – as the likes of Liverpool have done with Andy Lonergan and Manchester City with Scott Carson.

Darlow has been linked with the likes of Leeds United in the past so perhaps acting on any potential interest and selling him over the course of the summer would be the most financially savvy route, given he does not have much longer on his deal.
